Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve -5x+9y=-12 for x:

-5x+9y=-12

-5x+9y-9y=-12-9y

-5x=-12-9

-5x=-9-12

-5x/-5=-9/5-12/-5

x=9/5y+12/6

Substitute x into an equation

3(-9/5y+12/6)+2y=22

37/5y+36/5=22

37/5y+36/5-36/5=22-36/5

37/5y=74/5

37/5y/37/5=74/5/37/5

y=2

Substitute y in x=-9/5y+12/6

9/5(2)+12/6

x=6

Solution Set: (6,2)

PLEASE HELP ME <br>Multiply the monomials: <br><br>a2x5b, −0.6axb2 and 0.6a2b3

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

$-0.36 a^{5}b^{6} x^{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$a^2x^5b,,\ -0.6axb^2,\ and\ 0.6a^2b^3$

Required

Multiply

The above can be written as

$a^2x^5b * -0.6axb^2\ * \ 0.6a^2b^3$

Split the above expression

$a^2*x^5*b * -0.6*a*x*b^2\ * \ 0.6*a^2*b^3$

Collect like terms

$-0.6 * 0.6 * a^2*a*a^2*b *b^2 *b^3*x^5*x$

Apply first law on indices

$-0.36 * a^{2+1+2} *b^{1+2+3} *x^{5+1}$

$-0.36 * a^{5} *b^{6} *x^{6}$

$-0.36 a^{5}b^{6} x^{6}$

Hence, $a^2x^5b * -0.6axb^2\ * \ 0.6a^2b^3$ is equivalent to $-0.36 a^{5}b^{6} x^{6}$

What is half of the product of 8 1/7 and 7 4/5

UNO [17]

First we must convert these mixed numbers to improper fractions:

$8\frac{1}{7}=\frac{57}{7}$

$7\frac{4}{5}=\frac{39}{5}$

So then we need the product of these two numbers. That means to multiply:

$\frac{57}{7}* \frac{39}{5}= \frac{2,223}{35}$

But then we need the value of half of this product. So then let's multiply by one-half:

$\frac{2,223}{35} *\frac{1}{2} =\frac{2,223}{70}$

Then we can convert this from an improper fraction to a mixed number:

$\frac{2,223}{70} =31\frac{53}{70}$

And so this number is half of the product of the initial two numbers.
